Our MRC8 is structurally harder than the glass itself, providing a protective scratch-resistant layer, shielding the glass from the elements of frequent fieldwork. - X2 ND (NEUTRAL DENSITY) FILTER: Our X2 ND 6-stop features critically sharp H-K9L optical glass made in Japan. The moment you pick up X2 ND you’ll immediately feel the craftsmanship and quality. We precisely machine each X2 traction frame from environmentally friendly aluminum, and with it’s matte black finish reflections are absorbed rather than reflected into the lens barrel. - NANOTEC: In addition to state-of-the-art MRC8, our optical engineers developed new nano coating layer technology, called nanotec, from the ground up to repel dirt, water and other elements by beading rather than absorbing and smearing. Set in our completely weather-sealed X2 traction frame the X2 ND was built to withstand the harshest of environmental conditions. - FITMENT: Compatible with all 72mm camera lenses. Your lens thread size will be printed underneath your lens cap or written somewhere on the lens barrel. Make sure you order the correct size otherwise it will not fit your lens. - 25 YEARS SUPPORT: Guaranteed to be free from craftsmanship defects for 25 years. When you activate your 25 Year Ironclad Guarantee online we associate your X2 serial number to you, so any future discussions on this unique filter are tracked, issues recorded and all that stuff which goes into future product design. ## Images ![Breakthrough Photography 72mm X2 6-Stop Fixed ND Filter for Camera Lenses, Neutral Density Professional Photography Filter, MRC8, H-K9L Glass, Nanotec, Ultra-Slim, Weather-Sealed - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91XPhcxJBBL.jpg) ![Breakthrough Photography 72mm X2 6-Stop Fixed ND Filter for Camera Lenses, Neutral Density Professional Photography Filter, MRC8, H-K9L Glass, Nanotec, Ultra-Slim, Weather-Sealed - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61nqeNaq7ZL.jpg) ![Breakthrough Photography 72mm X2 6-Stop Fixed ND Filter for Camera Lenses, Neutral Density Professional Photography Filter, MRC8, H-K9L Glass, Nanotec, Ultra-Slim, Weather-Sealed - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/611ftMNHczL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent quality and worth the price *by C***G on Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2019* I will not claim to be a filter aficionado. I don't have a ton of experience with filters, but when I finally got some Canon L glass I knew I wanted some top-shelf filters. I've used cheap Hoya and Tiffen filters on my kit lenses and they were sufficient, but I knew I wasn't going to stick a $20 filter in front of a $1200 lens. My first thought was to go to B+W since they seem to be the "go-to" for top-quality stuff. A little bit of internet research kept leading me to Breakthrough Photography, a company I'd never even heard of before. After reading around about the company, their commitment, and the testimonials of a few people I figured I'd give them a try. Plus, I always want to support a company in the USA if I can and these guys are in San Francisco. I bought an X2 circular polarizer and an X2 3-stop ND. The first thing I was impressed by with these filters was the packaging; I know it has nothing to do with the performance of the product, but good packaging tells you how the company wants their product perceived. The Breakthrough filters come in a nice 2-piece box, then a hard plastic clamshell to hold the filter, which is surrounded in soft foam. There's also a nice red cleaning cloth and a warranty paper (25 years!). As for the filter itself, the quality and craftsmanship is immediately apparent. Probably the nicest thing is the scalloped edges which allow for effortless threading and unthreading. I never knew I wanted little grippy bumps until I used them. Optically, the filter seems excellent. I have no way of professionally testing the filters to substantiate all the claims, but I see absolutely nothing wrong with them. There is no obvious color cast like I've seen with cheaper ND filters. Sure, you can always change the color/temp/hue in post, but getting it right "in camera" will always be a better photo in the end. (Plus it saves time and a few steps.) I've used the ND to stop down my lenses for long exposures. I've included a photo that I took with a 6-second exposure in low light as the sun was setting. I noticed absolutely no difference in autofocus speed or accuracy with or without the filter. Autofocus might suffer with more density, but a 3-stop plus a CPL didn't slow it down at all. It's an expensive filter but if you have expensive glass don't put a garbage filter in front of all that nice gear. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars I feel like the world has the right colors again. Awesome filter and awesome company. *by K***. on Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2017* I am a HUGE fan of Breakthrough Photography filters and it's all I use now, except for some graduated filters that they did not make until recently.I'm not the best at caring for my filters and I have noticeable scratching after a LOT of use but I have yet to notice it in the photographs. I really cannot wait to upgrade to their new square filter line of filters anyway so this is just a placeholder.After having this for a while and loving the results (very little discernible color shift) I purchased an X2 polarizing filter. The first time I put it on I could not get the two to come apart. I froze them, I put rubber bands around each of them to no avail. I finally gave them a shout to see if there was some secret I was missing but they said I've tried everything that they would recomend. Now is where it gets really great. They sent me a new polarizing filter and a new x2-6 stop ND and a return label for the one I sent back.Once I received the replacement I thought I had the same problem because I could not get the things apart again. But...I discovered a secret (or common sense?)...you have to very gently hold the filters to loosen them. I don't know how else to describe it other than just a light grip, not a firm grip. I'm afraid this may be the same problem I had with the first ones but I've never experienced anything like this with other brands of slim-line filters.There's absolutely nothing wrong with it and the slim nature of the rings are part of what make this awesome (A lot more stacking!) I just wish there had been some type of "instructions for morons" included with the filters. I never had any problem with my old polarizing filter and the Breakthrough ND filter but the Breakthrough Polarizing filter is also much slimmer.So just in case you think your Breakthrough Photography filters have bound up just relax your grip to the point of almost dropping them and turn. Don't worry about turning the polarizing ring just gently hold and turn and viola they will release...it's very bizarre but they come apart just fine. I'm sure everybody at BP had a great laugh or "what the hell is this guy talking about" moment when they received the return...Once I go with their new square filters, graduated, and also their ND + CPL I'll get a review up for those but I expect great things from them.One last note/rant/whatever, I would also like to see comparisons between the X1, X2, and X4 series. They show plenty of comparisons between BT and other brands but I went with the X2 because there were no side-by-side comparisons of the significantly more expensive X4 line. If I had a better explanation and visual side-by-side comparison I would have spent the extra cash and gone with the X4 line (which also has brass rings and I probably would have saved myself some embarrassment). I'm also pretty sure I wouldn't have the scratches I do though because I have since had the chance to try a 10-stop X4 ND and it seems to be a significant upgrade, much easier to grip, and the glass of course is phenomenal...but the new square filters they may or may not sell someday is made with tempered SCHOTT glass so I expect it to be great and easier to manage, aka, drop...Did I mention I'm kind of excited for the square filters? ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Great filters *by L***3 on Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2023* I love this brand, they are thin yet sturdy and do not affect the image quality. Yeah it's pricey but you get what you pay for, you won't ever have to buy another. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/18364529-breakthrough-photography-72mm-x2-6-stop-fixed-nd-filter-camera](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/18364529-breakthrough-photography-72mm-x2-6-stop-fixed-nd-filter-camera) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
